Niigaki Risa - 5th Generation - Since 2001
Nicknames include "Mame" (Bean), and "Mayuge" (Eyebrow). She used to get teased about her forehead, until she finally got bangs. She claims her charm point are her eyebrows, and she even has a special move named for them, called "Mayuge Beam!" She's very animated, always energetic, and known for her dramatic expressions. She plays the lead role of "Athena" in a kids anime called "Athena and Robokirettsu". She's in a group by the same name, which also includes Mitsui Aika, Nakajima Saki, and Okai Chisato. Together, the group has released two singles: "Shouri no BIG Wave!" and "Seishun! Love Lunch". She's interested in any and all things Korean, and would like to be fluent in the language one day.
